Key Components
Balanced Sequencing: The class thoughtfully integrates postures from the Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced Series. You’ll experience the foundational strength and detoxification of the Primary Series, the energetic and nerve-cleansing benefits of the Intermediate Series, and the advanced strength and flexibility challenges of the Advanced Series. This balanced approach ensures a holistic and well-rounded practice.
Breath and Movement Synchronization: Emphasis is placed on the synchronization of breath (Ujjayi Pranayama) with movement (vinyasa), maintaining the meditative flow that is central to Ashtanga yoga. This breath-focused practice enhances your physical endurance and mental clarity, helping you stay present and connected throughout the session.
Comprehensive Asanas: You will be guided through a diverse range of postures, from Sun Salutations and standing poses to deep backbends, arm balances, and intricate hip openers. Each session will vary, ensuring that you experience the full breadth of Ashtanga’s postural practice while addressing different aspects of strength, flexibility, and balance.
Modifications and Adjustments: Our experienced instructors provide personalized adjustments and modifications, ensuring that you can safely explore the more advanced postures. Whether you are transitioning from the Primary Series or are already familiar with the Intermediate and Advanced Series, you’ll receive the support you need to deepen your practice.
